It's a little tougher to find an apartment in Hamilton.
According to figures released from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Hamilton's rental vacancy rate is down to 3.4 per cent from last year.
That is a decrease of point three per cent.
C-M-H-C says some people are putting off buying a house this year and are opting to keep paying rent for a while longer.
Canada's national housing agency says the trend is more pronounced in Brantford where the vacancy rate is down to 1.8 per cent a drop of about two full points.
